TEACHING

Laura offers one to one tuition, both in person from her home studio based in Balham, South London and virtually via Zoom. 

Sessions typically occur once a week at a regular timeslot and last for a period of three hours.

This time can be spent working on a project or area of your choice, however it’s recommended to work either on a making project, for example how to make up a Savile Row bespoke jacket to a block pattern or to combine a cutting and making project, by going through the process of taking your measures, drafting a pattern to your size, toiling, fitting and then making up a Savile Row bespoke jacket to fit you. 

The sessions are relaxed and move at your working pace. Students can either learn about a specific area of tailoring by completing a one off session or go through the whole process from start to finish, over a longer period of time.

One to one sessions are priced at £65 per hour.

Please do get in touch at info@laurateasdale.com if you have any further questions or if you are interested in booking in for one to one tailoring tuition.
